WGU C201 BUSINESS ACUMEN FINAL
EXAM SCRIPT 2026 COMPLETE QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
⫸ What is cloud computing? Answer: Powerful servers store
applications software and databases for users to access the software and
databases via the web using anything from PC to a smart phone.
⫸ Explain Cybercrime, Computer hacking and Cyber Terrorism.
Answer: Cybercrime is stealing or altering data in several ways.
Computer hacking is a breach of a computer system by unauthorized
users. Sometimes the hackers motive is just to see if they can get in.
other times, hackers have more sinister motives, including stealing or
altering data. cyber terrorism, a new generation of terrorism, can involve
deliberate threats to information systems and can be associated with
terrorist activities.
⫸ What is Malware and how does a computer virus work? Answer:
Malware is any malicious software program designed to infect computer
systems. A virus is a computer program that secretly attaches itself to
another programed (called a host). The Virus then changes the host,

decentralized network of millions of computers the influence of
blockchain will expand and transform the Internet of Things- and
hopefully reduce the risk of data hacking.
